Re: [ESPResSo-users] Writing and reading with H5MD

[Pierre de Buyl]

Hi,

I think that you might find my blog post useful here:
http://pdebuyl.be/blog/2014/using-h5md-in-lammps.html

You can skip the part on lammps indeed and move to the part where I explore the
content of a H5MD file ("Extracting the coordinates").

Regards,

Pierre
